Fairtax4me Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 This could be due to the coolant temp sensor failing, but there could be other causes. If the thermostat is only opening partially you can get slow circulation of the coolant which would cause it to get too hot in the block. A clogged heater core can cause similar problems. What kind of shape is the coolant in? Is it clean? When was it last changed? Fluid level in the radiator and overflow? How old is the thermostat? Do you get good hot air with the heat on or is it just kinda luke-warm? Does the temp gauge in the dash ever go above halfway? Have a scanner or access to one that can read live sensor data?
